The Rapids through three games this season have shot to the top of the MLS table. They are the only three-win team in the league.

And Colorado is one of just two teams with eight goals on the season. But Sporting KC, the other eight-goal scorer, has also ALLOWED eight goals. The Rapids at aggregate have outscored opponents 8-2.

Of those eight goals, three have been nominated for MLS goal of the week, one in each week of the season. The Rapids have been a one-team highlight reel.

This time, after a 4-1 drubbing of visiting DC United on Sunday, it is Caleb Folan’s turn in the spotlight.

Folan’s two goals Sunday were his first in MLS, since signing with Colorado in March. One of those goals, the first, put the Rapids ahead 1-0 in the first half. He took a keen forward chip from Jeff Larentowicz, gathered, squared up toward the goal in the box, forced DC defender Rodrigo Brasesco to commit right, then came back left for a daylight look at the goal.

In the previous two weeks, Quincy Amarikwa’s goal against Chivas USA was nominated for the award. And Jamie Smith’s ridiculous shot from 25 yards on a line should be one of the best goals of the year. He was robbed by Red Bulls’ Juan Agudelo in stacked New York voting.
